Overall it's not bad, but it's not as exciting as I imagined, and the ending is a bit vulgar. There are many traces of Steven Spielberg's guidance in the film, such as the train explosion at the beginning, which is really wonderful. With the progress of the plot, I feel that the director JJ Abrams is a little tricky. He doesn't like this routine very much. There are also many plot holes in the film. In addition, in terms of computer stunts, I feel that there is no breakthrough, and it is basically the technology of Jurassic Park + Doomsday. However, the young actors in this film are really eye-catching, and the heroine has great potential!

First-class sound effects and mixing, coupled with IMAX sound is quite shocking; second-rate script, Abrams wants to reproduce the old ET, but it is far from that height, even if it is a tribute, it is not sincere enough. Such a hasty ending, It's not an exaggeration to be classified as a third-rate script. Abrams really missed this time. The viral publicity is too eye-catching, and the movie is not as exciting as expected. Overall it is a disappointment.

The first half is good, the second half is stupid, aliens are so easily moved by a kid. The biggest highlight is the zombie short film shot in the back subtitles.
